A GREAT POPULAR UYOLOPEDIA.

The third volume of Alden's Mani
told Cyclopedia, a marvel of con-
densed information cover the alphabet
between the titles Artemisia and Bap-
tisia. There seems TO be little doubt
that il will prove to be the great popu-
lar Cyclopedia for the next score of
years at least. The embodiment of an
Unabridged Dictionary of Language
and > complete Cyclopedia of Univer-
sal knowledge in one work, in large
type, with thousands of illustrations,
and all for u price less than people have
been used to paying for a dictionary
alone, is not only a novelty in plan,
but to the ordinary book buyer the fact
is hardly less than astounding. Its ac-
complishment will certainly be credita-
BILE to Alden's Literary Revolution.
As to the quality of the work. both
literary and mechanical, any common
n reader il capable of Judging.
The volumes received. at this office,
which any reader Is welcome to cali
and examine, are certainly deserving
of the unstinted praise which they
seem to be receiving. The venerable
Prof. Day, of Yale College speaks of
the work in the following emphatic
terms: "The book in all respects more
than answers my expectations. 1t is a
very neat volume, of a form convenient
for use, firmly bound, of large, clear
type, with contents of just that general
character which the popular reader re-
quires-comprehensive, accurate, and
compact. Its m%arvelously low cost
makes it prize eagerly to be sought
in every Intelligence loving house
hold"

NEWSPAPER MEN.

Did yon ever stop to think what a
letter writer a local paper is?
Week after week, reaching into year
after year, it goes on telling the msr-
births. deaths, the doings of the
people about town, the business success
or failures, accidents, crops, improve
ments, meetings, revivals-in fact,
events of all kinds. All is grist that
comes to the hopper of good local pa

a letter each week to a friend and tell
him of half the news your paper gives
YOU would soon give up in despair.
The supposed pleasure becomes tire
some, the letters shorter, further apart
and finally quit. Why the differencep
Because with the newspaper men it's
business. People in a lively town re-
cognize this and take pleasure in Civ
ing the editor news items you would
learn. Therefore make haste
and subscribe; if you already receive
II copy, send one TO some friend. 1t is
better than a letter.

From the Philadelphia Record.]
Whilst the miners in the Lehigh re-
5l11 are undergoing the pangs of star
'<nlI0n, unemployed workingmen in
PhiIsdelphia are suffering for the want
of fuel and all the wheels of industry
are made to turn more slowly than
they would in a normal condition OF
industrial affairs. The combined coal
companies have advanced the price of
coal 81 25 per ton, and at the same
time the Lehigh miners have been re-
fused an advance in wages equivalent
TO 81 cents per ton. To- the consumer
Monopoly says:-"Pay our demand or
freeze!" To the miner it says:-"Ac-
cept our wages Or starved" In the
meantime the workingmen of Pennsyl-
vania are being called upon to fall down
and worship at the feet Of a false god
labeled protection to labor" 1t is re-
ported that the coal operators have on
the way to this country 1900 Belgian
miners who, it ia expected, will take
the place Of the strikers, and later OH

JOHNIY'S ILLUSTRATION
Iron the Boston Budget.]

If EOhl tuC DObtVu ouOkCtsJ
A Boston mother was assisting her
little boy the other evening in tho
mastery of his geography lesson, and
coming to the description of q desert,
which formed part of the lesson to be
memorized, she quoted the words OF
the text book to the effect that it was a
'sbarren tract" The little fellow re-
peated the descriptive phrase after her,
but his air OF justification showed that
he hadn't the slightest idsa of the mean
ing conveyed by the group of words,
and, tie better to reach his youthful
understanding, she endeavored to sim
plify the description by defining it as
SO place where nothing would grow"
The boys face frightened with the
light Of awakened intelligence, and the
mother, proud and expectant, put the
question: CHOW, Johnny, what is q
desert?" Prompt came the response:
"Pa's bald head!"

THE BEST PLACE FOB A SURPLUS.
from the N. Y, Stsr.l


Let them scheme, plan, f%inancier or
grab as they may, the men a Washing
ton will never find a better or a juster
place for a dollar not required by the
government than in the pocket of the
man who earned it.
From the starting point of the pocket
the surplus money will speedily find its
way into the "channels of trade"
1t will not diminish its value by fill
tering through the hands OF officials,
contractors and other ~tax.eaters.
1t will not remain i'll the national
treasury, a standing temptation to the
e%xtravagant notions of men who find
it easy to vote away other peoples
money. 1t will moi be one of a glitter
ing pile to excite the cnpidity OF job
bers.
The dollar in the pocket will 60
straight to another pocket that needs
1t, supplying some want with some ex-
change.
Let the surplus be strsightwsy
checked and the dollars that constitute
it be left where they belong.

Some years ago | gained knowledge
of this wonderful and simple toilet &C
cessory. Since then l have sung its
praises to many ladies, and l do not
hesitate to say that I have see marvels
resulting from Its use. Amy lady can
procure and crush the common almonds
into a pulpy meal for her own pur-
poses, or any druggist can prepare
them. The face should be moistened
with water and a thimbleful of meal
rubbed thoroughly into the pores. 1t
leaves the skin as soft as velvet, with a
fine, lmperceptible and fragrant oil,
which is the best wrinkle preventive in
the world. 1t leaves the face kissable
and sweet, too, and not in the least bit
greasy. Any man who has ever de-
tectsd a suspicion of toilet soap about
the perfume of his wife's cheek I am
sure would End tho almond odor far
more pleasing.

SHAMEFULLY DECEIVED.
Soldierly sympathy Turned to Gall
by an Unexpected Discovery.
From the K. C. Journal.

From the K. c.. Journal
"During the late unpleassntness,"
said q we'll known Irish American
gentleman yesterday, 81 was a men,
Der of Company A, of the famous
Sixty ninth Irish regiment. In the
company were two middle aged men,
nam ed Patrick O'Mslley and Timothy
Burke. They were steadfast friends
and belonged to the same NESS. At
the first battle of Bull Run, as every
body knows, the regiment covered it
self with glory, remaining on the field
after nearly every other command had
turned its back to the foe. While we
were engaged in q hand to hand strug-
gle, fighting with dubbed muskets and
prodding the enemy with our bayonets,
O'Malley reeled, paved the lead laden
air with his hands, and, with a shrek
that was plainly heard above the din
of battle, fell prone upon the earth.
Tim cease firing, and, STOPPING e
him, in tender tones, asked
care yez hurted, Pat?"
"Yis, Tim. Howley mother, me leg
is goneF"
found that it was terribly lacerated by
a g~rapeshot, just above the knee. Just
then the Black Horse Cavalry, COM
posed of the flower of South Cardinals
chivalry, came swooping down upon
our thinned ranks. The onslaught was
too desperate to be resisted, and, like
all the other valiant soldiers of the
union who participated in that men,
orable ARRAY, we decided that discre-
ton was the better part of valor, and
fed toward Washington. Tim was
still bending over the PROSTATE form of
O'Malley when the retreat began.
Don't leave me, Tim,' said he.' I'VE
have been friends together in the ould
country and this, and let's not part
now in the hour of misfortune
BE heavensl I'll not go widout yez,'
exclaimed Tim.
Thereupon he picked up O'NalIey
and threw him over his shoulder, his
legs dangling in front and his head be-
hind, and joined in the precipitate rout.
Tim was . six footer and as stout as
John L. Sullivan. He bore Pat for q
mile, lodging around army wagons
and caissons that blocked the highway.
While he was running from the field a
cannon ball carried away Pats head
but owing to his excitement, did not
become aware of that catastrophe to his
friend. Finally the crush and jam be-
came so great that Tim was unable to
proceed further, so he came to q stand
still. A young adiutant rode up to
him and asked:-
"What are you going to do with that
body?''
"Sure. he's me FRIEND" replied Tim,
"and I'm bearing him to a place Of
safety"
-"Why, you id fool, the man is
dead. His head is off,"
"Howly Moses, is that so?' ~ejacula-
ted Tim, letting Pats insnimate form
drop upon the ground. "The black.
guard decaved me. He tould me that
